02.12.11Joico K-Pak Color TherapyAs previously discussed on Hair On The Brain, one of my all-time favorite secret weapon hair products is Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor, so I was excited to try out Joico's K-Pak Color Therapy Shampoo & Conditioner. Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Shampoo is great for those with color treated hair or if you're simply looking for a moisturizing, gentle shampoo. My hair is dry mid-shaft through the ends, but gets oily at the roots since I work out, so I need to shampoo that cleanses well but doesn't dry out my hair. This shampoo works really well on my fine ...

12.05.10Neutrogena Anti-Residue ShampooI'm surprised I haven't reviewed Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo before now! It's been my go-to clarifying shampoo in my hair product arsenal for years. To get my hair to do what I want I tend to max out on hair products from time to time. (Don't we all?) A little extra hairspray to get that perfect ponytail to stay put... Hair paste to makes your bangs sit just right... Or hair serum that you know is full of silicones, but you just can't live without! You probably notice that your hair seems lifeless, dull, and weighed down sometimes and no ...

08.04.10Top 4 Tips For Curly GirlsAntonio Prieto, founder of Antonio Prieto Salon in New York City, is the stylist responsible for the easy-to-do looks in the August Issue of SELF magazine, has the top four things things every curly girl should remember. You don't have to shampoo your hair with suds! Rinsing your hair and washing your scalp with conditioner or a sulfate-free shampoo reduces frizz because you're not taking away the natural oils that protect the hair. Avoid creating a lion's mane: Don't brush your hair ...

08.01.10UNITE Shampoo & ConditionerAs you guys know, I got Hotheads Hair Extension, which are taped-in weft extensions, from Jordana Lorraine a while back. I love the fullness and length the extensions added to my hair, but the texture was a challenge for me to deal with because it was so different than my own hair. My natural hair is super soft and fine,ut b the extension hair texture was thicker, wavier, and more coarse than what I was use to caring for. It seemed like whatever products I put on were soaked up immediately, and the hair looked dull and not as shiny ...

07.25.10Nick Chavez Ultra Shine Honey & PeppermintI adore the smell of honey in beauty products--lip gloss, hand soap, lotion--whatever it is, if it's honey, I love it. I haven't seen too many hair products with honey in them, though. So when I got to test out Nick Chavez Beverly Hills' new line with both honey and peppermint (one of my other fav scents), I was over the moon. If this stuff had also had almond in it, I may have just cracked open the bottle and drank it! Nick Chavez Beverly Hills Ultra Shine Honey-Peppermint Hair Shampoo - This beautiful looking shampoo combines the benefits of honey ...

04.22.10Living Proof Hold Hairspray, Shampoo & ConditionerI have tested out a number of Living Proof products, and I recently tried out samples of the new Living Proof Hold Hairspray and No Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner. Living Proof Hold Hairspray is a reinvention of your traditional hairspray. When hairspray was first created, women were looking for a product to keep their elaborate hairstyles firmly shellacked into place. But today we have looser, freer styles and want hold that's soft and shiny. Living Proof’s team of scientists (yes, scientists) created a new blend of polymers that form a flexible “web,” joining the strands but never freezing them into ...

04.16.10Jonathan Product Infinite VolumeI love Jonathan Antin. He's one of my all-time favorite reality show characters, and he was brilliant on this season of Shear Genius! I also consistently love his line of hair products. I use regularly and love his Prep Spray and my fiance uses his Green Rootine Pure Paste. Jonathan Product recently launched a new Infinite Volume collection that includes a shampoo, conditioner, and thickening foam. They contain something called "expansion nanotechnology", according to the info it's: an interpenetrating polymer network delivery system that utilizes chemical and electromagnetic forces to expand and strengthen the hair shaft creating volume from the inside ...

04.11.10Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific!I've always thought Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific was the best shampoo name of all time. Although it was only in stores during the 1970's, due to some kind of wrinkle in time, it's still being sold at the Vermont Country Store. For triggering memories, nothing beats the sense of smell--one whiff of Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific brought us back to the time it first hit the scene, and discos and mood rings were still in vogue. "Love the smell--reminds me of the ’70s, halter tops, and bell bottoms!" wrote customer Joy Johnson, of Hedgesville, WV. With its signature flowery ...
